icone - feeling sorry :: DD the finished 192 kbps one ;-)

Hey all,

Recently finished that new Icone track, get it here :

http://users.skynet.be/lightworks/mp3s/icone-feeling_sorry__original_mix__192kbps_

It should sound way better than the 96 kbps lofi. Looking forward to hear what you people think of it

Cheers,
LW / Wim

Excellent production mate! really got that FULL TRANCE sound nailed!

This tune would suit a vocal perfectly?

Great arps and couter melodies, Only one thing.. the string sound used at 3:09 could have been slightly more euphoric, sounds like absynth a bit!

Apart from that mate, an absolutely stunning tune!

TOP WORK!!!!!!!

Regards

KTW

(What kind of set-up do u use, just out of interest?! Hardware / Software?)

Superb production! The sounds are all so clean & crispy... so many beautiful elements swimming around my ears!

The beat has great forward motion, and you did a phenomenal job building intensity as the song grows.

My only criticism is that, in my opinion, the melody - although powerful - lacks in originality - feels like I've heard it before...many times.

Maybe vocals, as mentioned, would help? I don't know.

Overall, very tasty tune indeed!

Multiply my previous comments by 10 due to the high quality file. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite producers, Wim. I really hope we'll be seeing these on vinyl sometime soon. Because I sure as hell can't afford a CDJ and I'm eager to put these in a set!

Hey thanks guys!

I used FL 3.56 for this track, with pro53, v-station, pro52, ts404 and some good samples... I used the 3xosc only for the bassy lead during the break. I'm not using it that much anymore actually

Thanks again, I appreciate it

YEAH! as stated before: you get better all the time. What a surprise to hear that you used FL, you usally don't use FL right?!

really nice break... so relaxed...

Nice track, I don't mind the melody at all, very uplifting.

On point of criticism, the really stabby synth notes used in intro and in end of breakdown get kindaaaaaa annoying, maybe lower the volume of them a tiny bit??

Keep it up, Caleb

Oe oe oe

teach me the secrets of pro53

awesome track! nothing wrong with it, very good production..


Posted by Icone on Sep-24-2003 10:27:

shiny :: thanks mate! i've always used FL, no other...

mike :: you mean the synth that fades out towards the high freqs? I was thinking of that as well, I'll see to it. thx!

massive :: well, a good preset gets you to start very well with the pro53. just try to give it a good envelope for the amplitude and filter, as well as a good 'fat' sound - use the unison option for that.

kevin :: i'm glad you like it mate, thanks for giving your thoughts


cheers!
Wim

Kippenvelmeter is very high here check your homepage questbook few entries there too

nice work!! already archived for my best trance songs


Posted by Luke Terry on Sep-24-2003 15:42:

Cool

i still reakon the bass is a bit high and crap lacking decent bass body, and the high synth that fades in from 1:10 sounds weird the way it comes in, would sound better coming in all at once or with LP filter cutoff imo. tbh, the plastic type snare is actually really getting on my tits now, you really need a new fill effect, it doesn't do your work justice. when it kicks in after the break it is too weak, the synth could be a touch louder and the bass doesn't quite drive it, its as if it's all mid with no actual bass.

on the plus, shorter and easy to say, cool percs, nice reverse effects, good floaty melody, pretty mint strings


Posted by Icone on Sep-24-2003 16:17:

Martyn :: thanks mate! let's hopei can keep it that way

dbl :: glad you're enjoying it mate, thanks for your comment!

barryfigiel :: i'm happy to see you like it mate, thx

Sebraaa12 :: thanks mate! how do you know the word 'kippenvelmeter'? it's dutch though, i thought they didn't speak that in Latvia (I think)?

Luke :: would you like to do a remix and do it your way mate? just gimme a sign then
I can't argue about something as little as a snarefill... is it really that bad?
i have to say i heard lotsa tunes already released that have similar structure and not any louder bassline - checked some on my headphones today. it sounds fine enough to me though, even on my simple speakers. i thought about that stabby synth as well, but letting it rise and fade with a lopass filter seemed like i've done it alot before... anywayz, thanks alot for you opinion.


thanks for the kinds words fellas

i'll have a go if u want, mite take a while tho, got a fair old bit goin on atm.

its not the bass volume, its the bass type, its too high ended, it seems to have lost the bass, or so it seems to me anyways...

you are better than basic fades and u know it if u cba with LP use an HP or BP or a combination of them


Posted by Icone on Sep-24-2003 18:08:

K mate, I'll send it to you one of these days


Posted by Mr.Mystery on Sep-24-2003 18:32:

I'd have to agree with Luke here, the bass makes it sound kind of hollow.

Also, I don't know if it's just me but lately I've been seeing a trend of using way too punchy/overcompressed bass drums... It's really getting on my ears.


Posted by extalin on Sep-25-2003 00:09:

listening now... just got to the breakdown and its been very nice so far.


strings are wonderful.. i like how they are kinda synth sounding.

ooooh nice when the melody comes in!

like the fx samples you have used and the panning snare rolls etc.

awesome when that rev crash comes in and then the drums just kick in and the crashy sound releases out slowly and its just 'ahhhh'

i like the open high hat sample you have used, its not too loud, but the way it is you can hear it well because of its sound... not a normal OHH which is cool.

this is probably the best production i have heard from you which is good news, because you just keep steadily increasing in musical and technical skill which is a very good sign... consistency is worth a hell of a lot.


now im in the 7 minute area and there are some new musical elements brought in and its very cool indeed. i hear this arpeggiated little sounds with a very short decay/release and they are very nice going up and down the scale kinds of... those give a very good feeling and fill it out so much.

about the bass... i am listening on good speakers and it sounds fine to me.. i think it is actually a very good bass because it has the high part of the bass which will allow it to be heard on a lesser system, while still having enough low low bass to be felt on a good system, and since there isnt a lot of frequencies in between it is not competing with your kick and other basses contributing to your already very clean mix.

once again m8 , good job and just keep at it (like i know you will
) and im sure one day we will be hearing much about you.

peace,
-rob


Posted by Icone on Sep-25-2003 00:55:

Mr.Mystery :: thanks for your comment pal. should i try to make some above & beyond-ish trance then, with more bass & soft kicks? pity i couldn't please you here

extalin :: thanks for the extensive review mate, glad you like the bass idea hehe


Posted by on Sep-25-2003 01:32:

its perfect!

gonna spin it soon (with your permission ofcourse... hehe)


Posted by JohnOC on Sep-25-2003 03:13:

wim this is excellent, i really like it
very solid track, nice icone sounds and well produced.
i am just going to say some comments as i listen:

the kick is very heavy,its a good icone kick but a kick with more bass and less 'thud' in it, like a rounder kick if u agree?

the bass is good, once again typical icone i would like to see u experiment with more synthy basses that delay and pan on each ear, very nice smooth basses and less of the angry 16th's arpeggiated basses it cud really develop your sound

strings are cool, very nice sequence. maybe more of a fat pad sound instead of natrual strings, like jp8000 type full waaaaa kinda pads u get me

the riff is cool, a bit similar to sintra-do u see the similarities? especially in the 2nd break. also i think it is time to use a different synth than pro53.its an amazing synth but i look forward to hearing u use different leads in your tracks...it will bring a great change and make your works fresh

but overall a fantastic track. i want to hear your talent and imagination being used with different concepts
